As we nestle into our chairs in a cozy, modern coffee shop and sip on our respective lattes, I can already tell this interview is going to be good. It’s 10:00 am on a dreary Friday in Boulder, CO, but the energy in the cafe is buzzing. Within three minutes of sitting down, Intuitive Eating

Welcome back for Episode 2, y’all! *not from the south, just a really handy word I enjoy using.* Today’s episode covers negative self-talk. I define it, give active steps you can take to challenge it, and give some examples to help you grasp it. So hold on to your hats, people! (I’m not really sure
